Our cozy little home is sustainably powered by solar and is completely set up for short and long term stays. It has a fully equipped kitchen and is within 10 minutes of the university, University Medical Center, Tucson Medical Center, downtown, and several dozen restaurants.

We have set up our home with work-from-home couples and business travelers in mind. The internet is extremely fast, capable of supporting 10+ Zoom streams, as well as streaming video, etc. simultaneously. We have a $400, fully adjustable office chair, extra monitor (usb-c/thunderbolt ending) and two desks ready for you to use.

The kitchen is fully equipped, enough to make a complete Thanksgiving meal. It has high-end appliances and comes with a blender, waffle maker, toaster, instant pot, and all the knives, spatulas, bottle openers, silverware, and other utensils you will need.

We have a pack and play crib, high chair, and jogging stroller available upon request.

A very fast Juicebox 48 Level 2 EV charger is onsite.

Netflix, Amazon Prime Movies, Disney+, ESPN+, Kanopy, and Paramount+ are provided on both the living room and bedroom televisions.

If you love coffee, here's your chance to try out a french press, pourover, cold brew, Turkish coffee, and moka pot. The house also has Amazon Echo devices so you can try out voice controlled digital assistants.

There is a rollaway bed, but like many rollaways, it has some thin padding. If you need to use it, let us know and we can provide a topper.

The entire property is powered by solar (but, of course, it does have electricity 24 hours a day.) We also have dual flush toilets, line dry our laundry when we can, and have a (very fast) level 2 EV charger onsite.

Room darkening shades are in place in the first bedroom. This room can be made very dark as we also have a cardboard cutout available to block even more light.

The house is attached to a studio that can also be rented on Airbnb, and there is a casita on the same grounds as well. Please do a search here for "Ultra convenient studio with private entrance" and "Quiet, cozy, and private midtown casita." While they are on the same lot, you will most likely never see or hear the guests in those buildings unless you want to. In over 2 years months of hosting, we haven't received a single complaint or even comment about this.

Please note: due to allergies, pets are explicitly prohibited. We have cameras on the outside of the house, and so pets cannot be snuck in. Those who bring animals will be immediately evicted, and a $300 fee will be charged.

We clean our own house whenever we can. But when we can't, every dollar of our cleaning fee goes to the cleaning staff.

We were in Tucson two weeks during the Christmas holiday. Not only was Nick and Carmen‘s cozy, sustainable house close to our relatives home but it was conveniently located as well. Being close to Speedway Boulevard meant that shopping, restaurants, and travel were easily navigated! The house was spotless! We wore white socks inside and they stayed white :-). Everything was fully stocked in the kitchen—we had all we needed to cook Christmas dinner and bake desserts. The coffee bar catered to every style and flavor! The Wi-Fi was super fast. Computer, tablet, and phone use for zoom meetings allowed worry-free work from home availability. The desk and variety of plugs, adapters, power strips, and lights were all provided! Also, there were streaming apps (Netflix, etc.) in easily at hand for entertainment. The beds were comfortable, linen fresh, and it was quiet for sleeping:) We really did feel home away from home and plan to stay again when we return to Tucson!

This is a very, very comfortable place. Everything was clean, the bed was comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked, the internet was fast and reliable, it had good outdoor space - it had everything a guest could want or need. The location was good in terms of getting into town. We went downtown at least three times during our stay, and it was very easy to navigate since Broadway is a main thoroughfare. We definitely would stay here again when in Tucson. Nick was very responsive too and communicated everything in detail including how to check-in and following up with inquiries about whether our needs were being met. We would recommend Nick and Carmen's place!

This was a fantastic find! THE SPACE The house is very well appointed and feels like you're in an actual home (unlike so many Airbnbs out there!). We were a couple staying for about two weeks, needed to work from home for most of the visit, and couldn't have asked for a better setup. There is a desk in one of the bedrooms, another desk in the living room, and reliable internet. PLUS there is a full coffee/tea bar with every coffee/tea-making device you might want (french press, moka pot, kettle, etc.). We also needed to make some dishes for Thanksgiving dinner and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The appliances (including gas stove with power burner) are very nice! The bathroom has great lighting and strong water pressure in the shower. Laundry facilities worked great, and there's plenty of extra toilet paper, etc. in the laundry room. Seriously, there's little to fault about this place. The windows don't bring in lots of light, but you're in Tucson and can just go outside. THE HOSTS Nick and Carmen were kind and welcoming hosts. I did not meet them in person (keypad entry), but they responded within seconds to a few logistical texts we exchanged before and during the stay, including one on Thanksgiving! They also left treats for us upon arrival, which was a nice touch. THE LOCATION The house is easy walking distance to a coffee shop, grocery store, and lots of other retail, although much of it is across a large, busy road. The neighborhood felt perfectly safe, although it's Tucson so everything is very dark. You'll need a car to get around, and there's plenty of parking at this house.

This place is extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen (every possible coffee making device (Email hidden by Airbnb) fortable and full of thoughtful little touches in every room. +1 for the ingenious bedside multi-cable electronics charging station. I need to make one of those. The host, Nick, was extremely responsive and helpful—proactive even. When I mentioned that I would be arriving a day early, Nick immediately made me a reservation for the extra day (which I gladly accepted). I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Nick's place and would gladly stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Nick’s cozy home. It was well outfitted with everything we needed and the beds were comfy. There were two large desks to work from. I really appreciated the outlet hubs and the basic three charging cables available on the nightstands. The Internet worked flawlessly and the TVs offered great entertainment subscriptions. It was within walking distance of the Loft Theater and Whole Foods. There were many restaurants a short drive away. We stayed there two weeks and it suited all our needs. Many thanks!

Wonderful place for a visit to Tucson. I have to say my favorite feature was Bookman’s bookstore across the street. We could’ve spent hours in there. And right next-door to that was Whole Foods. And of course the coffee spot on the corner was outstanding! We couldn’t have asked for more. We felt comfortable in the house and appreciated the cozy beds. Thank you for providing such a lovely space - easy for us to make our way down the street to cheer on our Oregon Ducks as they beat the Arizona Wildcats - just minutes away from the University of Arizona campus.Again thank you for providing a comfortable and inviting place to stay.

Secured this AirBnB for my mom and step-dad while in Tucson for a few days. They made everything really simple and easy for them; and my parents loved how clean the home was. Nick was also super-responsive (5-minutes or less) to any inquiries. Will definitely be looking forward to reserving again the next time family is in Tucson. Great amenities within the home and parents said the main bed was comfortable, which isn’t always the case for them!

Location

We are centrally located in Tucson--close to the university, restaurants, and Whole Foods.

Getting around

You'll find a bus stop within a five minutes walking distance; this will take you downtown and to many other points in the city. An Uber/Lyft ride downtown is 15 minutes, and there are dozens of restaurants about 15 minutes away on Campbell Avenue.

There is a nearby "bike boulevard" through quiet city streets that crosses much of the city from east to west, and The Loop, a 100+ mile paved path for bikers and walkers that loops around Tucson, is about a 15 minute bike ride away.

Icon
Check Out: 11AM
Icon
No pets
Minimum age limit for renters: 21
If you are under 21, feel free to send me a message.
Maximum occupancy: 5
The max occupancy is five. Any unauthorized event or gathering of those not mentioned in the booking will result in loss of deposit and immediate removal from property with no refund. (If you'd like people over, that's typically no problem--you just need to notify us first.)
House Rules
Sorry, but absolutely no smoking or pets.

Please do laundry between 8 am and 9 pm.

Any odor of smoke or evidence of animals will be charged a $200 cleaning fee.

Any tampering with the router or modem, which supports two additional units besides the main house, will be grounds for a $200 fine and eviction without refund.

Any tampering with any security cameras or the internet that supports them is a $200 fine and instant eviction without refund.

This house is to be used as a house typically is. Those mining bitcoin or otherwise using exceptionally large amounts of energy must discuss it first with us. Come on, please just be reasonable.

Additional guests must be cleared with us before they arrive. Never once in our history has this been a problem. Parties, however, will be immediate grounds for eviction without refund and a $300 fee for additional cleaning.

Payment Policy
50% of the booking cost is paid upon booking; the remaining 50% is paid 30 days before arrival. If booking is done less than 30 days before arrival, the entire cost is due at booking.
Refundable Damage Deposit
The security deposit is in place for those who are grossly neglectful, throw parties, or set things on fire. If you break a $5 glass, of course I'm not going to take that out of the deposit. Those who leave the unit exceptionally dirty will get $40 extra taken out of the security deposit, or more if the costs of extra cleaning go beyond $40. We don't expect you to wipe down a counter that appears clean, wash your towel or linens, or scrub the toilet, but we do expect you to clean your dishes and remove any crumbs from the kitchen. Basic stuff you would do if you were staying at a friend's house.

You'll get a full refund if you cancel 14 days or more prior to arrival. Other than that, the payment cannot be refunded.
Notes
We're sorry, but absolutely no pets or smoking inside. Any odor or evidence of smoking or pets will incur a $300 fee. This includes even bringing your cigarette butts inside.

The air conditioning/heating has a range of 74 to 80, with some flexibility upon request. We have ceiling fans in the living room and bedrooms which make the house feel even cooler.

We try to be as environmentally friendly as we can; the house is powered by solar panels and uses dual flush toilets and high efficiency appliances. Our linens and towels are frequently line dried.

If you would like cleaning during your stay, we can connect you with professional cleaners who will come in and clean for a reasonable price. Please just let us know.

This house can be rented as part of a larger 4bedroom, 3 bath house including the studios on the sides of the house. Please do a search here for "Private, sustainable, cozy 4br3b, perfect for WFH!"

SERVICE ANIMALS:
We encourage individuals using service animals to contact us before their stay. Please have handy your certificate and remember to bring the appropriate pet vest for Service Animals, Emotional Support, or Psychiatric Service Dogs. Please note that to be a service animal, the animal is by definition required to be with you **at all times**, and thus cannot be left alone in the unit. A "service animal" left alone in the house is now a pet, and a $200 fee will be charged for sneaking a pet into the house.
